Lyrics

I Don't Want To Say Goodbye
Words and Music by Erik Swerrie

For all the promise and opportunity we're given,
Things don't always work out as we planned,
This world can be wonderful and beautiful to live in,
And yet troubling and hard to understand

I know sometimes you struggled,
Though you rarely revealed why,
Wish you'd seen more of the wonder,
Than what troubled you in life

And I Don't Want To Say Goodbye

The baby you I held, made our family complete,
You brought fun and playfulness into our lives,
And all the thoughtful points of view, that you helped me see,
I wish we could talk about many more times

I admired your deep thinking,
And your will to be yourself,
But ironically, you seemed to yield,
So much to everyone else

I Don't Want To Say Goodbye

Sad now beyond what I have ever known,
New experience is good, but this I would not have chosen,

I saw that big black crow you sent to look me in the eye,
Who then flew off into the setting sun, as if to wave good bye

But I Don't Want To Say Goodbye
No, I Don't Want To Say Goodbye
